Hayate stretched her arms above her head, rolling her shoulders forward a bit to compensate for the phantom feeling of wings, far too used to being in her Knight Clothes and using her skills to fly. For now, she had a new job, back home on Earth, sanctioned and funded by the Time-Space Administration Bureau. While this meant she was grounded, literally stuck on the ground, it also meant she could indulge herself in the kind of simple lifestyle she’d wanted with her Knights.
She was on her way to investigate the part of Tokyo they’d stationed her in. Uminari was close enough to Tokyo, in the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t Tokyo itself. Her Knights were concerned about letting her out on her own, but Hayate had taken Reinforce Zwei with her, the small Unison Device (or very tiny girl, depending on interpretation) currently sleeping in her abnormally-bulky purse.
The sight of a tail-tip on what she thought was a humanoid got Hayate to pick up the pace and run, following the person. Black-and-white tailtip on a felid-type tail did not match with any Familiars (or Familiar-type beings) that should have been on Earth at this time. “Excuse me!”
If they didn’t stop, Hayate wouldn’t be grounded for long. Rein could handle the barrier that kept normal people from seeing her, and she could focus on chasing the Familiar(?) down.
